I picked up a 2001 Neon R/T for the wife about a month ago for $300 with a blown motor(timing belt let go). I figured I could throw it together for her pretty cheap and she would have a better daily drive than her Focus........When I got the car there was a Romanian flag painted on the sides of the hood, the bumpers were pretty banged up, the muffler had a huge hole in it, the fogs were destroyed, the drivers headlight was cracked and help together with duct tape, the door and fender were all banged up.........needless to say she was rough.
It had lots of potential though, fully loaded, all leather(even the center console) taction control, 4 disc CD, everything.........
I put a weeks worth of work into it and did the following......
-Mopar Performance SCCA IT Crate Motor(only paid $200 for it
)-AEM Tru-Time Cam Gear
-AEM Intake
-MPX 60mm Throttle Body
-MSD Wires
-PT Cruiser Clutch
-Booger Bushings
-EBC Slotted Rotors
-EBC Yellow Pads
-Dynomax Exhaust(Camaro muffler with 2 90 bends and some Summit 3" tips)
-Inovative Motorsports Wideband in a SRT-4 pod
-Cyberdyne Oil PSI gauge in a SRT-4 pod
-SRT-4 Shifter and boot
-SRT-4 Pedals
-Yukon Denali Compass/Temp mirror
-RAZ Radio
-Changed all of the engine caps from yellow to black(except for the washer fluid, cant find one that fits....yet)
-New Headlights
-New door
-New fender
-Painted the wheels black and added a red lip
-Repainted the hood where there was the romainian flag and added a red pin stripe to match the wheels
-Painted the spoiler to match the hood
-added the "Home Depot" front lip(I know its ghetto but I like it...)
-Modded the cluster, HVAC and Radio to illuminate red to match the other gauges
I would still like to paint the whole car White but that will be after the Winter if its still around by then....I have less than $1200 in the whole car and id like to keep it that way if at all possible, lol.
